Notes on this text (3)

Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ къ нѡ́ю: вни́ди ты̀ и҆ ве́сь до́мъ тво́й въ ковче́гъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ тѧ̀ ви́дѣхъ првⷣна предо мно́ю въ ро́дѣ се́мъ:

1 Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

2 ѿ скотѡ́въ же чи́стыхъ введѝ къ себѣ̀ се́дмь се́дмь, мꙋ́жескїй по́лъ и҆ же́нскїй: ѿ скотѡ́въ же нечи́стыхъ два̀ два̀, мꙋ́жескїй по́лъ и҆ же́нскїй:

2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.

3 и҆ ѿ пти́цъ небе́сныхъ чи́стыхъ се́дмь се́дмь, мꙋ́жескїй по́лъ и҆ же́нскїй: и҆ ѿ всѣ́хъ пти́цъ нечи́стыхъ двѣ̀ двѣ̀, мꙋ́жескїй по́лъ и҆ же́нскїй, препита́ти сѣ́мѧ по все́й землѝ:

3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.

4 є҆ще́ бо дні́й се́дмь, а҆́зъ наведꙋ̀ до́ждь на зе́млю четы́редесѧть дні́й и҆ четы́редесѧть ноще́й: и҆ потреблю̀ всѧ́кое воста́нїе, є҆́же сотвори́хъ, ѿ лица̀ всеѧ̀ землѝ.

4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”

5 И҆ сотворѝ нѡ́е всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка заповѣ́да є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ.

5 Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.

6 Нѡ́е же бѣ̀ лѣ́тъ шестѝ сѡ́тъ, и҆ пото́пъ водны́й бы́сть на землѝ.

6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.

7 Вни́де же нѡ́е и҆ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀, и҆ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ жєны̀ сынѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀ съ ни́мъ въ ковче́гъ, воды̀ ра́ди пото́па.

7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.

8 И҆ ѿ пти́цъ чи́стыхъ и҆ ѿ пти́цъ нечи́стыхъ, и҆ ѿ скѡ́тъ чи́стыхъ и҆ ѿ скѡ́тъ нечи́стыхъ, (и҆ ѿ ѕвѣре́й,) и҆ ѿ всѣ́хъ гадѡ́въ пресмыка́ющихсѧ по землѝ,

8 Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground

9 два̀ два̀ внидо́ша къ нѡ́ю въ ковче́гъ, мꙋ́жескїй по́лъ и҆ же́нскїй, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да (гдⷭ҇ь) бг҃ъ нѡ́ю.

9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

10 И҆ бы́сть по седмѝ дне́хъ, и҆ вода̀ пото́пнаѧ бы́сть на землѝ.

10 After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.

11 Въ шестьсо́тное лѣ́то въ житїѝ нѡ́евѣ, втора́гѡ мцⷭ҇а, въ два́десѧть седмы́й де́нь мцⷭ҇а, въ де́нь то́й разверзо́шасѧ всѝ и҆сто́чницы бе́здны, и҆ хлѧ̑би небє́сныѧ ѿверзо́шасѧ:

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened.

12 и҆ бы́сть до́ждь на зе́млю четы́редесѧть дні́й и҆ четы́редесѧть ноще́й.

12 It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 Въ де́нь то́й вни́де нѡ́е, си́мъ, ха́мъ, і҆а́феѳъ, сы́нове нѡ́євы, и҆ жена̀ нѡ́ева, и҆ трѝ жєны̀ сынѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀ съ ни́мъ въ ковче́гъ.

13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—

14 И҆ всѝ ѕвѣ́рїе земні́и по ро́дꙋ, и҆ всѝ ско́ти по ро́дꙋ, и҆ всѧ́кїй га́дъ дви́жꙋщїйсѧ на землѝ по ро́дꙋ, и҆ всѧ́каѧ пти́ца перна́таѧ по ро́дꙋ своемꙋ̀,

14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

15 внидо́ша къ нѡ́ю въ ковче́гъ два̀ два̀, мꙋ́жескїй по́лъ и҆ же́нскїй, ѿ всѧ́кїѧ пло́ти, въ не́йже є҆́сть дꙋ́хъ живо́тный:

15 Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.

16 и҆ входѧ̑щаѧ мꙋ́жескїй по́лъ и҆ же́нскїй ѿ всѧ́кїѧ пло́ти, внидо́ша къ нѡ́ю въ ковче́гъ, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ нѡ́ю: и҆ затворѝ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ковче́гъ ѿвнѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀.

16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then Yahweh shut him in.

17 И҆ бы́сть пото́пъ четы́редесѧть дні́й и҆ четы́редесѧть ноще́й на землѝ, и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жисѧ вода̀ и҆ взѧ̀ ковче́гъ, и҆ возвы́сисѧ ѿ землѝ:

17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.

18 и҆ возмога́ше вода̀, и҆ ᲂу҆множа́шесѧ ѕѣлѡ̀ на землѝ, и҆ ноша́шесѧ ковче́гъ верхꙋ̀ воды̀.

18 The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

19 Вода́ же возмога́ше ѕѣлѡ̀ ѕѣлѡ̀ на землѝ: и҆ покры̀ всѧ̑ го́ры высѡ́кїѧ, ꙗ҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ под̾ небесе́мъ:

19 The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

20 пѧтьна́десѧть лакте́й горѣ̀ возвы́сисѧ вода̀, и҆ покры̀ всѧ̑ го́ры высѡ́кїѧ.

20 The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.

21 И҆ ᲂу҆́мре всѧ́каѧ пло́ть дви́жꙋщаѧсѧ по землѝ пти́цъ и҆ скотѡ́въ и҆ ѕвѣре́й, и҆ всѧ́кїй га́дъ дви́жꙋщїйсѧ на землѝ, и҆ всѧ́кїй человѣ́къ,

21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.

22 и҆ всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка и҆́мꙋтъ дыха́нїе жи́зни, и҆ всѐ є҆́же бѣ̀ на сꙋ́ши ᲂу҆́мре.

22 All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

23 И҆ потреби́сѧ всѧ́кое воста́нїе, є҆́же бѧ́ше на лицы̀ всеѧ̀ землѝ, ѿ человѣ́ка да́же до скота̀ и҆ гадѡ́въ и҆ пти́цъ небе́сныхъ, и҆ потреби́шасѧ ѿ землѝ: и҆ ѡ҆ста̀ нѡ́е є҆ди́нъ, и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ въ ковче́зѣ.

23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

24 И҆ возвы́сисѧ вода̀ над̾ земле́ю дні́й сто̀ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ.

24 The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Quotes verse 7:10 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapters 13–14)
But why in the same place is it also written, "The waters of the flood were upon the earth in the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the twenty-seventh day of the month," if that very brief year (of which it took ten to make one of ours) consisted of thirty-six days?

Quotes verse 7:20 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XC)
Hence in the Psalms, fifteen "songs of degrees." Hence the waters of the deluge overtopped the highest mountains by fifteen cubits: and many other instances of the same nature.
